Alia Is Scared For Dad Mahesh Bhatt’s Health During The Lockdown & We Can Relate

While we might not know where Alia Bhatt is spending her lockdown days, but her fears about her dad, Mahesh Bhatt’s health is something we can all relate to. In a live session with Rajeev Masand and Karan Johar, the 27-year-old expressed her anxiety about the current COVID-19 pandemic and how it feels like dealing with parents who are above the age of 70, For those who don’t know, the risks of the virus are higher for individuals who have underlying medical conditions as well as old age.

Why are we resonating with her statement?“He is 70 plus. I am constantly nervous and thinking... That’s why I am always screaming ‘Don’t touch your face, don’t do this’.”, the Brahmastra actress said in the interview. This is perhaps what everyone living with older family members is feeling right now! We’re all scared and we’re all trying to navigate through this crisis together!

Alia’s fears shed light on how difficult it is living with constant anxiety which can be considered a side-effect of the lockdown. No celebrity is exempt from it, no average Preeti, Priya or Prachi either. We’re all dealing with the different facets of this crisis and the fear of losing someone is perhaps the scariest. Even the thought of someone getting the deadly virus can make you feel paralyzed, losing someone toh door ki baat hai!

Alia even took to her Instagram a couple of days ago with a photo of her dad captioned,

‘’Stay home &... go through old pictures when you’re missing your daddy.’’

The current situationWith newer cases of Covid-19 getting registered each passing day, the 21-day lockdown seems like it could get extended. However, the Centre has denied the rumours from their end, saying that this would be the end of it. Currently, there are 1637 cases in India with 38 registered deaths.
